OLD BUSINESS 1. Annual Report - Conservation Advisory Commission (Request - Life Center) Before calling on Councilman Bloom, the Supervisor recognized those members of the Commission who were present and expressed, on behalf of the Town Board, its thanks and appreciation for the Commission's fine work. Councilman Bloom then introduced the Commission's Chairman, Mr. Amlicke, Commissioners Gunsalus and Johnson, Mr. Emanuelson, Con- sultant to the Commission, and Mr. Leddy, Conservation Director, and briefly reviewed the former Conservation Advisory Committee's legal change to a Commission made a few months back for specific purposes. He noted that as such, the Commission must submit an Annual Report to the Town Board for approval and with great pleas- ure presented and reviewed section by section the 1973 Annual Re- port comprising some 10 pages and including an illustrative map. Mr. Bloom asked Mr. Amlicke whether he would like to add anything to his remarks,whereupon Mr. Amlicke stated that he thought the report spoke for itself--but that he did think the Board and every- one present might be interested in hearing about the volunteer pro- ject under Mr. Emanuelson's direction and to which, at his request, Mr. Emanuelson then addressed himself. Mr. Emanuelson mentioned the various phases of the Natural Resource Inventory presently well underway and in confirmation of Mr. Amlicke's remark that it was a completely volunteer project, extended a very sincere invitation to anyone interested to join the group to which he said, they would be most welcome. He noted that the overlay map was being prepared by Mr. Bufi, the Town Engineering Aide, and that it was expected the entire project would be completed by the end of the year. - 1 - 271 The Supervisor again expressed the Board's thanks and appreciation for the Commission's very fine Annual Report inquiring as to the Board's pleasure in its formal approval--whereupon on motion by Councilman Bloom, seconded by Councilman McMillan, it was unanim- ously RESOLVED, that the Board hereby approves the Annual Report of the Conservation Advisory Commission of the Town of Mamaroneck for the year 1973 with a vote of thanks and apprecia- tion to the Chairman and all members of the Commission. Mrs. Helwig then referred to the request of LIFE Center as noted on the agenda and explained in the letter signed by Ned Purves under date of June 3rd, which was accompanied by a Summary of Pro- posed Programs prepared by LIFE and herewith ordered filed for the record. Mr. Purves, at the Supervisor's invitation, spoke to each of the Programs described and to the requested municipal contributions totaling $7500. to be shared by the three municipalities as fol- lows : Town of Mamaroneck - $3500. , Village of Larchmont - $3,000. and Village of Mamaroneck $1,000. Mrs. Johnson also spoke to the proposal in some detail, heartily endorsing and supporting this requested expanded continuing educa- tion program--and the Supervisor, in thanking her, remarked that there was no one more qualified and fitted to speak to this matter than Mrs. Johnson since she was a pioneer and still an active par- ticipant with some 10 years of experience in this field. The Supervisor pointed out that LIFE Center was a volunteer organ- ization which had been funded by the Junior League in accordance III with its policy of initially funding such projects for a certain time, hence the present request for municipal funding in order to continue this program. It was further noted that the School Board had included $3500. in its budget for the Center in Central School. Mr. Purves also called to attention at this time that the Center was losing the services of Mrs. Marietta Williams, Coordinator, at the end of this school year which certainly heightened the need for an indication of the availability of the requested financing if the program were to con- tinue, particularly since the League funding would terminate unless supplemented by municipal financing. Mrs. Helwig expressed the Board's thanks and appreciation to Mrs. Williams for her fine work and the great contribution she had made to LIFE Center. Mr. Amlicke said that the Commission would like to have some guidance perhaps from the Town Attorney as to contracting with LIFE Center since as presently constructed, the Conservation Advisory Commission could not undertake programs such as those LIFE proposed without a full-time Coordinator. He further said, in polling the full Com- mission (2 not voting) 5 had voted in favor and 2 in opposition. Councilman Bloom, with the consent of both the Supervisor and the Town Attorney in reply to Mr. Amlicke, commented that in his think- ing the issue was not a question of programs nor a question of whether the Conservation Advisory Commission could undertake such programs as those porposed by LIFE, but rather what things were properly under the Conservation Advisory Commission which it could not perform but which LIFE could perform. He pointed out further that the only way any money could be granted to a private organization such as LIFE—non- ' 1 profit or not--would be by contract and that this must be examined fully as to whether the Conservation Advisory Commission or Town Board would be the right body to do the contracting, etc. - 2 - 272 Mr. Amlicke, in view of this, stated that he felt if the proposal were to be submitted to the Commission, it would need to have more detailed information which Mr. Purves advised he would be glad to supply after consulting with Mr. Amlicke in order to determine ex- actly what was needed in addition to the material furnished this evening. Since there were no further comments, the Supervisor thanked Mr. Purves and assured him that the Board would give very serious study and consideration to this matter. 2. Air Structure &. Ice Rink a. Report on Bids Amended Bid - Zamboni Company The Supervisor presented a memorandum and Mailgram from Zamboni addressed to the Board by the Town Engineer under date of June 3rd, 1974, which listed the bids for the Air Structure, etc. as follows: "Bids for the above were received at 2:00 P.M. on May 23rd, 1974 and publicly opened in the Supervisor's office at that time. The following is a listing of the bids: Contract No. 74-4 - Air Structure (furnish) Air Tech Industries, Inc.---_ $105,400.00 Contract No. 74-5 - Air Structure Installation Pergola $ 3,000.00 ' Contract No. 74-6 - Site Excavation Manny Equipment Co. $ 15,865.00 Arra Construction Co. 21,933.00 DeLaurentis Landscaping Co. 24,950.00 Contract No. 74-7 - Site Concrete Arra Construction Co. $ 35,850.00 Contract No. 74-8 - Ice Skating Rink (Furnish and Install) Ice Systems $119,860.00 Contract No. 74-9 - Ice Resurfacing Equipment F.

I recommend that the Town Board authorize bonding for this Ill project in the amount of $405,000.00. This amount, together with the approximately $45,000.00 that is already in the bud- get for the service building will allow for 10% contingency." The Supervisor also reported for the record the receipt of a peti- tion carrying 24 signatures, a letter from Mr. Gerety and a letter addressed to the Board by Councilman White in his absence this eve- ning, all endorsing and strongly urging authorization of the proposed structure which were herewith ordered received and filed. - 3 - 273 Mrs. Helwig also called attention to the Estimated Expense and Revenue Sheet, the Comparison of Bids Sheet (present bids ver- sus those received last August) , and the Engineer's memo re "Life Expectancy of Structure", all of which were ordered received and filed as part of the record of this meeting. b. Recommendation - Recreation Commission Further, she capsulized briefly for the record the Recreation Commission's recommendation strongly urging construction of the III new facility and then asked for questions or comments from the floor, whereupon the following persons addressed the Board: Mr. Charles Colangelo-- Mr. Colangelo again requested provision of a full size regulation baseball field at Hommocks. In replying, Mrs. Helwig assured Mr. Colangelo that his request was on record, and Mr. McMillan stated that he personally agreed with this request, but advised Mr. Col- angelo that provision of the Air Structure would in no way affect provision of a baseball field. Mr. Ned Ryan-- Mr. Ryan pointed out that a baseball field had been requested for the pastien years and that this was the only municipality that did not have one. In reply to questions about use of the school field, it was again claimed that it could not be used-- whereupon the Board requested that a written statement so tes- tifying be obtained and submitted to this Board for purposes of the record. Mr. Theodord Utz-- Mr. Utz questioned the sheet projecting the estimated revenues and expenditures as to the basis used for the figures and the sufficiency of the revenues to cover expenses. In answer, both the figures used and the basis for same were reviewed in some detail by Mr. Kronenberger. Mr. ,John Ibelli-- Mr. Ibelli referred to the admission increases for use of the Hommocks Pool caused by continual rising operational costs, stat- ing that he felt this must not be repeated in the case of the pro- posed facility. He emphasized that the public rate should be held and that the use rate for private parties should be the only one increased. In other words that only the private or contracting party should be penalized not the individual user. He further requested that such a stipulation re cost to individual users at $1.25 per session be guaranteed. Further questions from the floor were answered by members of the Board, the Recreation Commission and Superintendent. Mr. Clifford Gill-- Mr. Gill then spoke to the Revenue and Expense figures in general, stating that as Mamaroneck High School Hockey Coach and President III of the Interscholastic League (representing 10 schools) he believed Mr. Kronenberger had estimated on too low rather than too high a figure as far as revenue since he could testify that there was no buyable ice in the County at less than todays cost of $60. per hour rather than the $50. figure shown. In addition, he said the greatest difficulty today was to procure ice at any cost and he therefore recommended that the revenue be re-estimated at a cost of $60. per hour which in itself would substantiate a considerable increase in the anticipated renenues. - 4 - 274 c. Revised Financing Proposal At the Supervisor's request, the Deputy Supervisor outlined the revised proposal for financing the structure. He noted that the bond resolution for the issuance of serial bonds for a 15-year period was subject to permissive referendum and further required a 5% down payment from current funds. Further he called to attention that another resolution, also sub- ject to permissive referendum, was necessary to authorize the ex- penditure of $45,000.. from the Capital Reserve Fund to pay part of the cost of the comfort station and service building at the Air Structure. Questions raised about the financing costs, in- terest rate for obtaining money, and where the money would come from if the anticipated revenues were not to meet the bonding plus the operational costs were answered by Mr. Vandernoot and Mr. Bloom. d. Resolutions for Permissive Referenda Whereupon the following bond resolution was offered by Councilman Vandernoot, who moved its adoption, seconded by Councilman Bloom, to-wit: BOND RESOLUTION DATED JUNE 5, 1974.

Progress Report - MTA Project A report stating that the drainage improvements under the MTA road bed in the vicinity of Cabot Road was 95% complete,which had been addressed to the Board by the Engineer under today's date was presented and ordered received and filed. The Supervisor-- Before proceeding with the regular order of business, the Super- visor, with the Board's consent, recognized Mr. Morton Karmel of Old White Plains Road who had requested an audience this evening. Mr. Karmel expressed his thanks to the Board and stated that he was here this evening to request that a variance be granted to him permitting him to use the property he had acquired in front of the then Armstrong residence as a parking area for the coming "Open" at Winged Foot Golf Club. He stated that he requested this per- mission for personal and private reasons which he did not partic- ularly care to go into at this time. He further said his request was strongly supported by his most affected neighbors--Mr. & Mrs. Philip Winters and Mrs. E. D. Willis. Mr. Karmel then described the very poor condition of the back road which was to be used as the exit road to Old White Plains Road from the Club's East Course parking area. The use of his property which could park about 170 cars, he said, would afford considerable relief to this situation and further would be a ser- vice to both the residents of the area and to the Club. Mr. Karmel stated that he had spoken to Mr. Noletti, Manager of the Club, and to the Town Attorney, Mr. Johnston, who had advised him that the proposed use of the property constituted a violation of the Town's Zoning Ordinance thus necessitating his appearance before this Board to request a variance. Councilman McMillan then said that in view of the circumstances Mr. Karmel had recited he would favor granting the request which he thereupon so moved. The Deputy Supervisor asked whether there had been any similar requests? Mrs. Helwig, in replying to his question, said that Mr. Petrillo, owner of a large tract of unimproved land on Old White Plains Road, had so requested. She also referred to, the parking areas requested and established at Harbor Island and Hummocks from which buses ran back and forth to the Club. Councilman Bloom stated that he would second Councilman McMillan's motion to grant Mr. Karmel's request subject however to approval by both the Winters and Mrs. Willis. - 8 - Upon. roll call, the vote on the foregoing motion 273 was as follows : Supervisor Helwig VOTING Naye Councilman Vandernoot VOTING Naye Councilman McMillan VOTING Aye Councilman Bloom VOTING Aye Accordingly the motion was duly declared lost by reason of a 2-2 tie vote, Councilman White being absent and therefore not voting.

Authorization - Purchase of Telephone Equipment ($13,250.) A memorandum addressed to the Supervisor by the Comptroller under date of May 23rd, 1974 together with a detailed explanatory letter addressed to him by Robert J. Walsh of Warner, Walsh & Associates, on May 22nd, were presented and herewith ordered received and filed. Mr. Vandernoot, at Mrs. Helwig's request, spoke to the proposal pointing out that the School-Town Center had a joint switchboard and that since the School had authorized the change, it would be more economical for the Town to go along with the School than not to. He explained that the Town's share of the total cost (about 26%) was $13,250. , and pointed out that since this was purchasing rather than leasing equipment, there would be a savings of some $3,000. a year after the capital outlay. While there was a possi- bility of getting some state aid, Mr. Vandernoot said, since there was no appropriation in the 1974 budget for this expenditure, it was proposed to use Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and as the work was to start at this time, he therefore moved the authorization. The motion was seconded by Councilman Bloom and the following resolution thereupon unanimously adopted: RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes the expenditure of the sum of $13,250. for the pur- chase of telephone equipment, said expenditure to be made from Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. 5.
